But what title was downloaded the most in the year 2015? We now have the answer.

Variety has published a list of the most pirated movies of the year, and while titles like Inside Out, Minions and San Andreas failed to make the Top 10, you will certainly recognize all of the films. What got the number one spot? Read on and find out.

10. Kingsman: The Secret Service

Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service was a significant surprise when it came out earlier this year. The R-rated comic book movie took on Fifty Shades of Grey the weekend of Valentine’s Day, and it still managed to be a box office and critical hit. Unfortunately, this success also gave it a lot of attention on the downloading front. Edging out the Will Smith/Margot Robbie thriller Focus by about four million downloads, the spy film was stolen 30,922,987 times before the end of 2015.
